Shen Nong's Materia Medica

Chapter 6 Zhongpin (1)

Dried ginger
The smell is pungent, warm, non-toxic.Mainly full of chest and coughing against upper Qi, warming the middle to stop bleeding, sweating, expelling rheumatic arthralgia, and intestinal diarrhea.

The living Youliang.

Chen Xiuyuan said: The temperature of dried ginger is endowed with the Qi of Jueyin, wind and wood. If it is warm but not strong, it will have a harmonious Qi and belong to the earth; if it is pungent, it will have the taste of Yangming and dry gold. If it is pungent and not biased, then metal can grow The water turns moist, so dried ginger is the key medicine for visceral cold.The one in the chest is divided into the lungs, the coldness of the lungs will cause the metal to lose its descending nature, and the qi will be full in the chest, and the qi will rise when it is full, so the symptoms of coughing against the upper qi will arise, and the main one is pungent and warm. .The middle one is the soil, and if the soil is deficient, it will be cold, and this can warm it.For those who stop bleeding, yin must go away when yang is deficient, and blood will return to the meridians when it is warm.Those who sweat, Xin Wen can also diverge.Chasing away rheumatism and numbness, treating cold pathogens that stay in the muscles and bones.For those who treat intestinal dysentery, they can eliminate cold pathogens trapped in the intestines and stomach.All of the above-mentioned policies are based on their heroic and powerful functions, just like what Mencius said is the aura of majesty and majesty, which is stuffed between heaven and earth.When it is raw, it has a pungent and full flavor, so it is prophesied: "The raw one is the best."That is to say, "Golden Chamber" used licorice dried ginger decoction to self-inject into the cannon for the treatment of lung impotence. Because the lung deficiency can't experience the pungent taste suddenly, the pungent taste can be slightly reduced by the cannon, which is also a temporary expediency; The nature of ginger is also.Ye Tianshi also said that the cannon black enters the kidney, how ugly is it?
Ginger
The smell is pungent, lukewarm, non-toxic.Take it for a long time to get rid of bad smell, and get rid of the gods.

Chen Xiuyuan said: The temperature of all medicines belongs to Jueyin wind and wood; the high temperature is heat, which belongs to Shaoyin Junhuo; the mild temperature is the wood qi at the beginning of spring, and it enters the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang.Weixin belongs to Yangming dry metal, big pungent belongs to hand-taiyin lung and hand-yangming large intestine, and slightly pungent belongs to the gold in the soil, which is specially entered into the foot-yangming stomach meridian.Zhongjing Guizhi Decoction, etc., if ginger and jujube are used together, take the pungent to harmonize the lungs, get the sweetness of jujube to nourish the heart, and combine them to regulate the health and health.Zhenwu Decoction and Fuling Guizhi Decoction are used to benefit the lung qi, and when the qi moves, the water will invigorate the sweat, and the lung is the source of water.Those who use the Big and Small Bupleurum Decoction take it as the medicine of the Shaoyang Classic.Evodia decoction is used for its Anyangming qi, and following Yangming qi, the behavior will be smooth, and vomiting will stop on its own.The qi of Shaoyin is handed over to Yangming Middle Earth, and the benefits are stopped.All these and the like, although the "Ben Jing" does not expressly say it, but Zhongjing only realizes its magic in the smell.Those who take it for a long time to remove bad smell and open up the gods take the bad smell as the turbid yin qi, and the gods are the spirit of yang qi, and it is said that it has the effect of supporting yang and suppressing yin.People today only know that it dispels evil and sweats, but they don’t know that it has the function of correcting and stopping sweating. They often use Zhenwu Decoction, which is similar to Baizhu Decoction, and often suspect ginger and go away. They all died of reading.Also, whenever a sick family encounters ginger in the prescription, they say they have blood diseases, or they have suffered from red eyes and sore throat, so they dare not take it lightly.It is also self-defeating, so why complain?

very light blue
The smell is pungent, flat, non-toxic.As a soup, it can treat typhoid fever, cold and heat, stroke, facial swelling, and sweating.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Xin Ping sweats lightly.The sun is the meridian of cold water, and cold injuries on the surface cause fever and aversion to cold, which can be relieved by light-white sweating.Wind is a yang evil, which mostly hurts the upper body; when the wind is strong, the face will be swollen, and it will disappear with light-white sweating; this is easy to understand.As for Zhongjing Tongmai Sini Decoction, green onions are added to those with red face, is it to induce yang energy to return to the root?Baitong Decoction is named after it, is it because of taking the white under the leaves, leading the ginger and attaching it to enter the kidney palace, for emergency self-help without pulse, and life in an instant?Both parties are the miraculous potion of returning to yang, and returning to yang first comes from Gutuo.How can Master Zhong use sweating products instead?Scholars who do not understand this principle are always misleading quacks.

Angelica
The smell is bitter, warm and non-toxic.It is mainly used for coughing and ascending qi, warm malaria, cold and heat washing in the skin, women's leakage of children, various malignant sores, and gold sores.Boil the juice and drink it.

(Refer to the opinions of various schools) Angelica has a warm temperature, and enters the liver with wood qi; it tastes bitter and non-toxic, and enters the heart with the smell of fire.It is mainly for those who cough against upper Qi, the heart governs blood, and the liver stores blood.The liver is wind, the heart is fire, the wind and fire are yang, and the excess of yang is warm malaria that is hot but not cold; while the lungs are affected by wind and fire, and the timidity of the lungs cannot be the master of the fur, so the cold and heat are washed in the skin Angelica can make the liver blood enough to stabilize the wind, and the heart blood to stop the fire, so that the cold and heat in the skin can be eliminated.

If the heart fire is full of blood, the heart fire will cease.All golden sores lose blood, and if the blood grows, golden sores will heal. The four characters "boil the juice and drink it" refer to the painstaking efforts of the ancestors, saying that "the middle burner receives qi, and the juice changes and turns red, which is called blood".It can be seen that it is often said that stir-frying with dry soil will dry up its natural juice, which is a big failure.

芎

The smell is pungent, warm, non-toxic.Mainly for stroke entering the brain, headache, cold arthralgia, spasms and spasms, gold sores, women with blood closure and no children. Chen Xiuyuan said: Xiong has a warm temperature and spring energy and enters the liver; it is pungent and non-toxic, and it enters the lungs with a golden taste.Wind is yang evil, and it hurts the upper body, wind qi unblocks the liver, the liver meridian and governor vessel will be at the top and cause disease, xiong xiong is pungent and warm and dispels evil, so it dominates.Less blood can not warm the skin, so it produces cold and causes numbness; less blood can not nourish the tendons, so the tendons become constricted, and the tendons become slow, and the tendons shrink and become urgent; Xiong is pungent and warm and activates blood, so it dominates.Those who treat gold sores use gold sores to injure muscles from the skin.Xiong is endowed with yangming metal qi, which can reach the skin from the muscles.Women mainly rely on blood, and if the blood is blocked, they will not have children; Xiong is pungent and warm, stimulates the menstrual flow and can nourish blood, so it is also possible to treat blood and no children.

Epimedium

The smell is pungent, cold, non-toxic.Mainly impotence and absolute injury, pain in the stem, diuresis, benefiting energy, strengthening will. (Stir-fried suet.) Chen Xiuyuan said: Epimedium is cold, and enters the kidney with the air of asparagus water; it is pungent and non-toxic, and enters the lungs with the golden taste of earth; the medicine for the two viscera of gold and water, tastes the scriptures carefully , all mainly to replenish water and dirty.The yin is the Zongjin; the Zongjin belongs to the liver wood, and the wood will become impotent when it encounters the scorching sun; once you get the sheepskin with cold air, it will stand up like you get nectar.For those who are absolutely injured, the collaterals will never continue. "Golden Chamber" has a cloud: the collaterals are also where the yin, essence and yang qi come and go.Yanghuo is cold and pungent in taste, and it can be continued by the circulation of the air of water and sky.The main stem is also the main stem. If the fire is stagnant in the middle, it will cause pain. If the heat is cleared, it will be cold, and if the depression will dissipate, it will be pungent, so there will be pain in the main stem.Urine is mainly in the bladder, and it must come out due to the gasification of the Sanjiao. If the fire of the Sanjiao is strong, the solitary yang will not be transformed and it will be drowning.The evidence of drowning, once you get sheepskin, the air is cold and the taste is pungent, the metal and water are in harmony, the yin and yang moisten the cloth, and the yang gets yin and transforms, then it is small and convenient.The lungs govern qi, and the kidneys store will.Meng Fuzi said: "A husband's ambition is the handsomeness of Qi".The merit of nourishing the lungs is attributed to tonifying the kidneys, and its training of benefiting energy and strengthening one's will can be learned from the training of Mencius who cultivated the strong and strong.This reason is difficult and the time to heal the ears!Ye Tianshi said: Epimedium soaked in wine can cure partial wind failure, water drying and low back pain.

Nepeta
The smell is pungent, warm, non-toxic.Mainly cold and heat, rat scrofula, sores, breaking knots and gathering Qi, lower blood congestion, dehumidification and jaundice.

[Reference] The air temperature of Nepeta chinensis, endowed with wood qi, enters the liver and gallbladder.The taste is pungent and non-toxic, and it has a golden taste and enters the lungs.Qi is better than taste, and Qi is the main one, so all the symptoms of Shaoyang phase fire and Jueyin wind wood are the main symptoms.Cold and heat come and go, rat scrofula, sores and other symptoms are diseases caused by Shaoyang; Nepeta pungent and warm, with the stagnation of fire and fire, the disease will be cured.Food enters the stomach, and the essence is scattered in the liver. If the liver does not disperse the essence, the qi stagnates and accumulates; the liver stores the blood, and the blood circulates along with the qi; and also.Nepeta pungent and warm to reach the qi of liver wood, then the disease will be cured.For its dehumidification and jaundice, jaundice is formed in dampness; Schizonepeta is warm and pungent, and the pungent enters the lungs to regulate water channels, and the water channels are cleared to remove damp jaundice.Today, when people stir-fry black, it becomes dry and cannot be tasted, loses its pungent flavor and cannot be released, and it is said to be a commonly used product after delivery, which is very ignorant!
Ephedra
The smell is bitter, warm and non-toxic.Mainly used for apoplexy, typhoid fever, headache, febrile malaria, sweating, dispelling evil and heat, relieving cough against upper Qi, eliminating cold and heat, and eliminating accumulation of disease. (Remove the root of the joint.) Chen Xiuyuan said: Ephedra has a warm temperature, and enters the liver with spring energy; it tastes bitter and non-toxic, and enters the heart with the smell of fire.The heart governs sweating, and the liver governs catharsis, so medicine is used for sweating.Its owner is all the disease of anhidrosis.Taiyang syndrome apoplexy, typhoid, headache, fever, aversion to cold, wheezing without sweating, ephedra is suitable for sweating.But the heat is not cold, it is called warm malaria, if the heat is very hot, there is no sweating, headache, and ephedra is also suitable for sweating.Cough against the upper qi is a syndrome of coldness in the Taiyin of the hand; fever and aversion to cold is a syndrome of the exterior of the foot Taiyang; ephedra is also suitable for sweating.That is to say, the accumulation of hardness is an internal disease, and it is also the qi of yin and cold, which is condensed in the yin, and gradually develops over time; if you get sweating from ephedra, the yin will come out from the yang, and the hardness will accumulate and dissipate on its own.All of these are the result of sweating.

Genjie Guyun antiperspirant is the antiperspirant medicine that is introduced to achieve quick effect on the surface. It is not Mahuang Genjie that can stop sweating by itself, and the old explanations are often wrong.

Pueraria lobata
The smell is sweet, pungent, flat, non-toxic.Mainly quenches one's thirst, severe body fever, vomiting, various numbness, arouses yin qi, and resolves various poisons.

葛谷
The smell is sweet, flat, non-toxic.The main diarrhea is over ten years old.

Ye Tianshi said: Pueraria lobata root has a flat Qi, which is endowed with the golden Qi of Tianqiuping, and enters the Taiyin Lung Meridian; it tastes sweet and pungent and non-toxic, and has the taste of earth, gold and earth, and enters the foot Yangming dry gold stomach.It is mainly used for those who suffer from thirst, Xingan to promote stomach qi, and when the qi rises, body fluid will be produced.For those with severe fever in the main body, the Qi is calm and autumnal, and autumnal Qi can relieve severe fever.If there is damp heat in the spleen, it will be obstructed and cause vomiting. Pueraria lobata is sweet in taste, it will raise the stomach yang, and if the stomach yang is agitated, the damp heat will go down and vomiting will stop.All numbness all arises from the stagnant circulation of qi and blood, and the sweetness and sweetness of Pueraria lobata root are harmoniously dispersed, and all numbness heals by activating qi and blood.The yin follows the yang, and it has a human taste;

Zhang Yin'an said: Zhang Yuanyuan, a native of Yuan Dynasty, said: "Puderaria root is a Yangming elixir. If the sun is first ill, it is used, and it will lead evil into Yangming. Theories are all made-up prescriptions. There are several Gegen decoctions to treat the sun's neck and back; and to treat the sun. Combining disease with Yangming." If Yangming's primary disease, there are only Baihu Chengqi decoctions, no Pueraria decoction syndrome, and Puerariae mainly promotes the righteous energy of the meridians to disperse the evil, and it will lead the evil in!Predecessors did not understand the scriptures, and they repeatedly came up with different opinions. Li Shizhen collected them all without making corrections. Scholars read the inventions of Materia Medica, and they should be studied in conjunction with the scriptures, and they are not mistaken by the predecessors.

Scutellaria baicalensis
The smell is bitter, cold and non-toxic.Mainly all heat, jaundice, intestinal diarrhea, water retention, blood stasis, malignant sores, gangrene, and fire ulcers.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis and Cortex Phellodendron are both cold in air, bitter in taste and yellow in color, and their indications are roughly similar.Generally, coldness can remove heat, bitterness can dry dampness, yellow color belongs to earth, yellow and bright color belongs to gold, gold takes the color of earth as its color, so gold is the most expensive hardware.But the hollow of Scutellaria baicalensis is like the stomach, the intestine is the Yangming of the hand, and the stomach is the Yangming of the foot.Those who control all kinds of heat refer to all kinds of heat diseases in the stomach and intestines.

Yellow gallbladder is the stagnant heat in the large intestine meridian; for intestinal diarrhea, it is the stagnant heat in the large intestine.Those who chase water, chase the water in the intestines.For patients with closed blood, attack the blood accumulation in the intestines.Evil sores, gangrene, and fire ulcers are caused by the heat and poison of the muscles; Yangming dominates the muscles, and the fire of Yangming is detoxified.

The words and indications in "The Classic" are like this, and Zhongjing used it in the Shaoyang Classic: Poria cocos is prone to palpitations in the heart, peony is easy to treat abdominal pain, and there is no understanding beyond the words in "The Classic".

Yuan Ginseng
The smell is bitter, slightly cold, non-toxic.Indicates the accumulation of cold and heat in the abdomen, women's postpartum lactation disease, nourishes kidney qi, and improves eyesight.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Yuanshen is used to treat various diseases in the abdomen, because it can open up the kidney qi and transfer it to the lungs, so as to obtain the Qi of water and sky, and the magical effect of turning up and down is also very wonderful in Zhang Yin'an's annotation, which is detailed in the annotation of Danshen.Its cloud is mainly for those with postpartum milk disease, and postpartum blood loss will lead to yin decline, and fire has no restraint.

Treat it with cold and cool for fear of hurting the middle, and add strong tonic for fear of rejection. However, Yuanshen is clear and has a little tonic, so it is an important medicine for postpartum.For eyesight, Heishui Shenguang belongs to the kidney, which can improve eyesight.

Salvia miltiorrhiza
The smell is bitter, slightly cold, non-toxic.Mainly confidant evil energy, borborygmus faint like running water, accumulation of cold and heat, dispelling symptoms and removing lumps in the abdomen, relieving restlessness and fullness, benefiting qi.

Zhang Yin'an said: Salvia miltiorrhiza and Yuanshen both smell bitter and cold, and they get the qi of Shaoyin.But the color of Yuanshen is black, it is endowed with the essence of Shaoyin’s cold water, and goes up to the sky; the color of Danshen is red, it is endowed with the energy of Shaoyin’s monarch fire, and it goes down to the earth;Therefore, Yuanshen is placed on the top to treat the accumulation of cold and heat in the abdomen; Danshen is placed on the bottom to treat the accumulation of cold and heat in the confidant.When the qi of Junhuo is transferred downward, the soil is warm but the water does not overflow, so the treatment of bowel sounds is as faint as running water.Those who break the disease and get rid of the lump in the abdomen can cure the accumulation of cold and heat; those who stop restlessness and replenish qi can cure the evil qi of the trusted subordinates.

The husband stops annoyance to cure heart evil, stops fullness to cure abdominal evil, and benefits righteousness, so evil energy is also cured.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Today, people say that Danshen is one flavor, and its function is combined with Siwu Decoction. They all think that it is a product for nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation, and it is a special medicine for gynecology, but the true function of Danshen is concealed.

Danpi
The smell is pungent, cold, non-toxic.Mainly cold and heat, apoplectic salamander, convulsions, epilepsy and evil auras, eliminating symptoms and stagnant blood stagnation in the intestines and stomach, calming the five internal organs, and treating carbuncle sores.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Cortex paeonol is cold in Qi, and enters the kidney with water qi; it tastes pungent and non-toxic, and enters the lungs with a golden taste.Heart fire has the nature of inflammation, stagnation of fire causes cold, and fire causes heat; Salvia miltiorrhiza controls fire due to water vapor, so it dominates.The liver is the viscera of the wind, and if a stroke damages its tendons, it will be a salamander, and if a stroke disturbs its soul, it will be epilepsy.Those with evil qi, the evil of wind and fire, the evil qi moves the blood, leaves the stomach and intestines, and stasis is hard; the cold of paeonol can clear away heat, and the pungent energy can dissipate stagnation, which can be eliminated.The lungs are the longest of the five internal organs, and the lungs are safe while the five internal organs are safe.Carbuncle sores all belong to heart-fire, and carbuncle sores can be cured when heart-fire falls.

防 己
The smell is pungent, flat, non-toxic.Mainly wind-cold and warm malaria, hot air and epilepsy, eliminating pathogenic factors, facilitating defecation and defecation.

[Description] Fangji qi is flat, endowing the qi of gold; the taste is pungent and non-toxic, and the taste of gold is obtained from the lung meridian of Taiyin.People with wind-cold and warm malaria suffer from wind-cold, but malaria is also caused by heat but not cold.People with epilepsy due to hot qi have heat in the heart and suffer from epilepsy in cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, and others.Warmth and heat are all yang evils, epilepsy and malaria are all wind trees, and Fangji can rule them.Those who get rid of evil also prophesy that they can get rid of the above evil spirits.However, the lung is the source of water, and it is the exterior and interior of the large intestine. Fangji's Xinping regulates the lung qi, and the two are convenient.

Zhang Yin'an said: "Jing" says: if the water channel is not good, the shape will disappear and the qi will disappear. It is the water that operates on the skin surface with the qi, and the water and fire that help the upper and lower sides. If the qi is stagnant and the water is not good, it is water disease and phlegm disease.Fangji was born in Hanzhong, the broken lines are like the spokes of a car, the stems and rattans are open, and the main function is to ventilate and flow water, so as to prevent the control of the soil, so it has the name of Fangji. "Golden Chamber" has Fangjihuang Decoction and Fangji Fuling Decoction for water diseases; Mu Fangji Decoction and Fangjijia Fuling Glauber's Salt Decoction for phlegm diseases; "Qian Jin Fang" for enuresis and astringent urination, there are Sanwu Mu Fangji Decoction; , and the water can just go down.And Li Dongyuan said: Fangji is a medicine for the blood part of the lower energizer, and it is contraindicated for those who are sick with the qi part of the upper energizer.It also says: like a dangerous and healthy person, if he takes pleasure in misfortunes and misfortune, he will lead to chaos. If he uses it well, he can also defeat the danger.This is the medicine for blindness, so the sage keeps it and never discards it.Alas!Such an argument, I do not know where to participate?Husband qi transforms and then water flows, self-defense is the product of promoting qi and benefiting water, and anti-cloud and scorched qi cannot be used, why is it so unreasonable?Anti-self can operate and cure diseases, which is a supplement in luck. The "Ben Jing" is listed before the Zhongpin, so why not discard it?Is it not the sin of the ancients to be greedy for fame because of his wealth, lack of knowledge and practice, and always make assumptions, so that later generations follow it like a maxim and fear it like poison?Li Shizhen said that through the ages, only Dong Yuan was wrong.Sigh!Andy Fangqi was born again, and the scriptures were announced again.

狗脊
The smell is bitter and flat.Mainly the back is strong, the shutdown priority, the wind arthralgia cold damp knee pain, quite beneficial to the elderly.

秦 艽
The smell is bitter, flat and non-toxic.Main cold and heat pathogens, cold-damp wind numbness, arthralgia, drainage, diuresis.

Zhang Yin'an said: Gentiana chinensis has a bitter and flat smell, its color is like loess, its ribs are intertwined, and it rotates left and right, expressing the sympathetic energy of yin and yang in heaven and earth.The weather turns left and right, the earth's qi turns right and left, and the left and right are the paths of yin and yang.For those who treat cold and heat evil qi, the earth qi flows from the inside to the outside, yin qi is externalized to yang, and the cold and heat evil qi dissipates on its own.Treat cold-damp-wind numbness and arthralgia patients, the weather enters from the outside, and yang qi intersects with yin, and then the combination of cold, dampness and wind three evils forms numbness and joint pain in the limbs, and it can be cured.The earth gas operation is underwater, and the weather operation is small and convenient.

Aster
The smell is bitter, warm and non-toxic.It is mainly used for coughing and ascending qi, cold and heat condensing qi in the chest, detoxification, impotence, and calming the five internal organs.

Zhang Yin'an said: "Purple is the color between black and red; black and red are the colors of water and fire."The smell of aster is bitter and warm, and it is endowed with fire; its texture is soft, and it is endowed with water.Indications for coughing against the upper qi, the qi of activating the sun and cold water flows from the skin to the lungs.Treating cold and heat stagnation in the chest, helping the fiery qi of Shaoyin, tonifying the triple burner and reaching upwards.Gu poison in the abdomen belongs to earth, and fire can generate soil, so the poison of Gu is removed.Atrophy belongs to water in the tendons, and water can grow wood, so the atrophy is removed.Water and fire are signs of yin and yang, and when water and fire intersect, yin and yang are combined, so the five internal organs are safe.

Zhimu
The smell is bitter, cold, non-toxic.Mainly treats thirst and fever, eliminates evil spirits, edema of limbs, enters the water, replenishes deficiency, and replenishes qi.

Ye Tianshi said: Anemarrhena qi is cold, and the water qi enters the kidneys; it tastes bitter and non-toxic, and it enters the heart with the smell of fire.The kidneys belong to water, the heart belongs to fire, water does not control fire, if the fire flickers body fluid, the disease will cause thirst;For removing evil qi, the bitter and cold smell can also remove the evil qi of dryness and fire.Excessive heat will cause floating, and excessive fire will cause swelling; bitterness clears fire, and cold can reduce fever, so the main limbs are edema.Swollen people are watery and dirty, and their nature is dry. If dry, it will be difficult to open and close and the water will accumulate instead.Anemarrhena is cold and slippery, the door is slippery closed and the water flows down.Those who make up for the deficiency, the bitter cold makes up for the deficiency of cold water.Those who benefit qi also benefit the yin qi of the five zang-organs after bitter cold.

Foolish note: "Golden Chamber" has Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimu Decoction, which can treat joint pain, body weakness, and swollen feet. It can be known that all the prescriptions of Changsha come from "The Classic".

Fritillary
The smell is pungent, flat, non-toxic.Mainly used for typhoid fever, dysphoria, leaching evil spirits, hernia, lump in the throat, breast problems, gold sores, wind convulsions.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Fritillary has a flat and pungent flavor, and its smell belongs to gold, and it is also a medicine for hand Taiyin and hand Yangming.It is mainly for those with typhoid fever and fever, and takes the golden energy of the West to relieve the scorching heat; "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is named after Baihu Decoction, which also means this.It is in charge of drenching and draining evil qi, and the treatment of the lungs is carried out in the bladder, so that the evil and hot qi is eliminated, and the drenching and draining are healed.The hernia is caused by liver wood, and this is Jinping wood.Throat obstruction is internal closure of the lung orifice, which can ventilate lung qi.Insufficient milk means that Yangming's juice is blocked, gold sores are due to injury of Yangming's meridians, wind spasm means that Yangming's ancestral tendons are unfavorable, Fritillaria clears and moistens and removes heat, so it rules it.Today's people use it to treat mainly phlegm and cough, which greatly misses the purpose of the classics.

And Li Shicai said: Fritillaria governs dry phlegm, pinellia governs damp phlegm, and the two things are like water and charcoal, and they are both hypothetical.

Trichosanthes root

The smell is bitter, cold, non-toxic.Mainly quenches thirst and body heat, annoyed with severe fever, nourishes deficiencies and calms the middle, continues to eliminate injuries.

Chen Xiuyuan said: The root of Trichosanthes chinensis is cold, and enters the kidney and bladder due to the water vapor of winter cold; it tastes bitter and non-toxic, and enters the heart with the smell of fire in the south.If the fire is full of liquid, it will quench your thirst, if the fire floats on the surface, you will be hot, if the fire is full, you will be full of irritability, if the fire is too hot, you will be yin deficiency, if you are yin deficiency, you will be restless. Of.Its main function is to continue the wounded, because its spread can dredge the yin collaterals and continue the therapy.The real name is Cinnamon chinensis, "Golden Chamber" is used to treat chest pain, and "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is used to treat chest knots, which is based on the fact that it can open the knots in front of the chest.

Zhang Yin'an said: In the middle of the night, yin qi rises outside the veins, and when it merges with yangming, it forms the dryness of fire and earth.Pollen arouses yin and fluid in the veins, and Tiangui is combined to nourish its dryness and gold. In "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Golden Chamber", Pinellia is used to help Yangming Qi. If thirsty people are too hot, remove Pinellia Yipollen to nourish it.The sages established the method of addition and subtraction, and they must deduce the reason of physics.

Paeonia lactiflora
The smell is bitter, flat and non-toxic.Mainly evil qi abdominal pain, remove blood numbness, break firm accumulation, cold and heat hernia, relieve pain, facilitate urination, benefit qi Chen Xiuyuan said: Paeoniae qi is flat, it is summer flowers and the air of drying gold; bitter taste, it is the taste of Shaoyin monarch fire .When the Qi level drops, the taste is bitter, and the blood goes away, it is a product for conquering, not a nourishing thing.Abdominal pain, difficulty in urinating and all kinds of pains caused by evil qi are all diseases of qi stagnation, and the main ones are to vent their qi by calming bitterness.For blood stagnation, the blood is blocked and cannot work, and even cold and heat are not adjusted.Those who have accumulated hard, have accumulated for a long time and are solid, and those who have hernia and full pain are all diseases of blood stagnation;It also says: those who invigorate qi mean that if the evil qi is attacked and purified, the vitality will naturally benefit, not that peony can nourish qi.People today amend the Bible arbitrarily, using the word "sourness and coldness" as "sorrow and coldness" to make bitterness flat, mistakenly thinking that it is a product that restrains yin, and it is useless to kill people.Try taking peony and chewing it, why do you care about the sour taste?Zhang Yin'an said
木 通

The smell is pungent, flat, non-toxic.Mainly eliminate cold and heat in the spleen and stomach, tonify the nine orifices, blood vessels, joints, make people unforgettable, and remove harmful insects. (Akebia, "Benjing" named Tongcao. Chen Shiliang wrote "Food Materia Medica" and changed it to Mutong. Today there is the so-called Tongcao, which is different from the ancient Tongtuomu.) Zhang Yin'an said: Mutong, vines and vines are empty. , its color is yellow and white, and its smell is pungent and flat.It is rustic, so it can remove the cold and heat of the spleen and stomach.The vines are empty, so they benefit the nine orifices, blood vessels, and joints.If the blood vessels are unblocked and the key points are sharp, it will be unforgettable.Endowed with gold energy, so get rid of evil insects.

Fangji and Akebia are both kongtong vines.Fangji is used in the lower root, its nature is from bottom to top, from the inside to the outside; akebia is used in the need to know the benefit of urination, it must also go up and then down, outside and then inside.

Angelica dahurica
The smell is pungent and warm.The main woman has redness and whiteness, blood closure and swollen yin, cold and heat, wind invades the head and tears, grows the skin, moisturizes, and can be used as facial fat.

Sophora
The smell is bitter and cold.Main trusted subordinates stagnate qi, lumps in the abdomen accumulate, jaundice, and drowning.Dispelling water, removing carbuncle, invigorating the middle, improving eyesight and stopping tears.

Xu Lingtai said: This is also based on taste.Bitterness enters the heart, cold removes fire, so Sophora flavescens specializes in treating fire in the Heart Sutra, which is similar to Coptis chinensis in function.

However, Coptis chinensis seems to remove more fire from the heart, and Sophora flavescens seems to remove more fire from the heart and small intestines; the smell of Coptis chinensis is clear, while the smell of Sophora flavescens is turbid. (Note: The word "buzhong" also means taking its bitterness to dry the spleen).

水萍
The smell is pungent and cold.Mainly violent heat, (get the air of water, so it can remove heat).Body itching, (moist heat in the skin).Under the water vapor (Ping does not get wet when it enters the water, so it can wash the water).It wins over wine (when the water vapor wins, the wine vapor will dissipate).Long beard and hair, (benefits the blood of fur).The Lord quenches his thirst. (with the help of water vapor).Take light weight for a long time. (It's also like the lightness of duckweed.) Xu Lingtai said: Waterweed is born in water, but can come out of the water, and its leaves do not get wet when it enters the water, so its performance is against water.Therefore, all diseases caused by water and dampness can be cured.Its roots do not touch the soil but float on the surface of the water, so it can treat diseases of the fur.

coltsfoot

The smell is pungent, warm, non-toxic.Mainly cough against the upper air and be good at panting, sore throat, all convulsions and epilepsy, cold and heat evil.

Zhang Yin'an said: Coltsfoot is born in water, the flowers are red and white, the smell is pungent and warm, and the yang comes out from the yin, covering the yang in the water, and it is also a medicine that unblocks the lungs and gold.If the sun's cold water air does not flow from the skin to the lungs, it will cause coughing and dyspnea; the water air in coltsfoot can lead to the lungs, so it can be cured.Jueyin and Shaoyang wood and fire qi are condensed in the throat, which is like sore throat; coltsfoot gets the qi of golden water, gold can flatten wood, water can control fire, so it can be cured.Convulsion epilepsy, cold and heat evil qi, cause more than one end of the disease, so it is called convulsion epilepsy, cold and heat evil qi; Coltsfoot is endowed with the qi of the sun and cold water, and when it goes upward and outward, the qi of yin and yang, water and fire intersect, so it can be cured.

浓朴
The smell is bitter, warm and non-toxic.Main apoplexy, typhoid fever, headache, chills and heat, palpitation, qi and blood numbness, dead muscles, removing three worms. (Used raw, it dissolves the muscles and expresses the expression, and roasting the incense transports the soil to help the spleen.) Chen Xiuyuan said: It is thick and warm, with woody qi and enters the liver; it tastes bitter and non-toxic, and enters the heart with the smell of fire.However, when the smell is strong, it mainly falls, and when it falls, it is warm and focused on dissipating, and bitter and focused on venting, so the main symptoms are all symptoms.Stroke has defecation barrier syndrome, typhoid fever has dyspnea, abdominal fullness after sweating, hard stool, headache has turbid air rushing up, and the main medicine is Zongpu.As for temperature can dispel cold, bitterness can dispel heat, and dissipating can dissipate, then it can relieve the palpitation of qi inversion.If it can be dispersed, the qi will flow, and if it can be let out, the blood will flow, so it can cure qi and blood numbness and dead muscles.The three worms are transformed by the moisture, and if the Zongpu can disperse and let it out, the three worms can go away.To distend and lower the qi, there is no clear text in the scriptures, Zhong Jing took it because of its bitter and warm smell, and got the meaning beyond the words of the "Ben Jing".

Gardenia

The smell is bitter and cold, non-toxic.Main five internal pathogens, heat in the stomach, flushed face, wine nose, white leprosy, red leprosy, sores.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Gardenia jasminoides are cold in air, and enter the kidney with water qi; taste bitter, and enter the heart with the smell of fire.The evil qi within the five internal organs is also the evil qi caused by heat in the five internal organs.There is heat in the stomach, and the stomach meridian is hot and troubled, troubled and sleepless.The flower of the heart is on the face, and the redness means that the heart is full of fire.The nose belongs to the lungs, the nose is wine, the metal is restrained by fire and the color is red.White leprosy is damp, red leprosy is heat, sores are heart fire.Gardenia is endowed with the essence of cold water at the bottom, and the essence of the king's fire at the top, which can stimulate the qi of water and yin upwards, and guide the qi of fire and heat to go downward, so it governs it.All the above symptoms can only be used raw, and the smell is still there. If it is fried black, it will be dead ashes, which is useless.Zhongjing Zhizichi Decoction is used for its function of copulating with water and fire, and reconciling the heart and kidneys; adding fragrant soya bean to induce vomiting, and it is not gardenia that can spit.The common saying is that the fan will vomit when it is used raw, but it will not vomit when it is fried black. How ugly is it?Press: Zhong Jingyun: Do not use those who have slightly runny in the old days.

Citrus aurantium
The smell is bitter, cold, non-toxic.Mainly strong wind in the skin, like hemp beans, bitter itching, eliminating cold and heat, stopping dysentery, building muscles, benefiting the five internal organs, and benefiting qi.

Zhang Yin'an said: Fructus aurantii has a bitter and cold smell, leaves do not fall in winter, and is endowed with gasification of Shaoyin specimens.The scent-shaped garden has white flowers and many thorns, and the flesh is yellow and white, and it has the gasification of Yangming gold and earth.Indications for strong wind in the skin, such as hemp bean bitter itching, get yangming metal qi to control wind, endow less yin water qi to clear heat.For those who get rid of cold and heat knots, the qi of Shaoyin's original heat can be used to get rid of cold, and the qi of standardizing yin can be used to get rid of heat.Those who stop dysentery and grow muscles have the Qi of Yangming and middle earth.The five zang-organs originate from the congenital Shaoyin and grow on the acquired Yangming, so they benefit the five zang-organs.If you get the yin of Shaoyin, you can benefit Qi, and if you get the qi of Yangming, you can lighten your body.In Zhongzu's original theory, there is Dachengqi Decoction, which uses roasted glutinous rice and roasted Citrus aurantium;

According to "The Classic", there are Fructus Fructus Fructus Fructus Fructus Fructus Fructus Fructus Fructus Fructus Aurantii, and Tang "Kaibao" begins to divide it.However, Fructus Fructus Citrus Fructus is the bigger one, the sex is released and the Qi is scattered, it is not as good as the end of Citrus Fructus, but since it is one kind, it should not be overdone.

Cork
The smell is bitter and cold, non-toxic.Mainly control five zang-organs and gastrointestinal stagnation of heat, jaundice, intestinal hemorrhoids, diarrhea, dysentery, redness and whiteness of women's leakage, yin injury and erosion.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Phellodendron cypress has a cold air, and it is endowed with the water vapor of winter cold.It tastes bitter and non-toxic, and it gets the fire flavor of the south of the land; the skin is thick and yellow, and it gets the transformation of the earth in the sun.The five internal organs are yin, and those who control the five internal organs are all medicines that control yin.For those with heat knots in the intestines and stomach, cold can clear away heat.For jaundice and intestinal hemorrhoids, bitterness can overcome dampness.For those who stop diarrhea, damp-heat diarrhea, only bitter cold can eliminate it, and it can also strengthen it.

Women's fetal leakage of blood is due to blood heat; red and white vaginal discharge, and vulva wounds and sores are all caused by damp heat; Phellodendron Phellodendron can clear away heat, bitterness can dry dampness, so it is the main cause.However, the righteousness is not injured, and the heat and poison are contained in it. If there is excess disease, it can be used temporarily, otherwise it should not be tried.

All medicines that are dry are not without heat; those that are cold are not without dampness; Cortex Phellodendri has the effect of clearing away heat and drying dampness.

Dogwood

The smell is sour, flat and non-toxic.The main heart has evil spirits, cold and heat, warms the middle, expels cold-damp numbness, removes three insects, and takes a long time to lighten the body. (Enucleated).

Chen Xiuyuan said: Cornus officinalis is purple-red in color and sour in taste, and is endowed with the gasification of Jueyin and Shaoyang wood fire.Jueyin pericardium of hand and liver of Jueyin of foot all belong to wind wood; Sanjiao of hand Shaoyang and gallbladder of foot Shaoyang all belong to Xianghuo.The Juque point under the heart is the recruitment of the pericardium of the hand Que Yin, and the point below the heart is the division of the spleen.In terms of evil qi, the evil of the spleen is actually the evil of the liver wood.Foot Jueyin liver wood, less blood and hyperactivity of qi will restrain the spleen soil, and when it is in yang, it will be hot, and when it is in yin, it will be cold.It is also a disease of Shaoyang due to alternating cold and heat. Cornus is endowed with gasification of wood and fire, so salty dominates it.Cornus officinalis is sour and astringent, and the fire is suppressed to the lower burner, and the fire is called less fire in the lower part, and less fire is angry, so it warms the middle.The sour taste of cornus enters the liver, and the liver stores blood, which can fill the skin and warm the flesh, so it relieves the numbness of cold and dampness in the whole body.The three worms are the transformation of Jueyin wind and wood; the sour of Zhongjing Wumei Wan can cure roundworms, that is, this thing is realized.The liver, dare to be angry, is also a viscera that is angry and produces blood.In Sun Zhenren's Life Vessels Powder, there are sourness of the five flavors, which can cure fatigue and lighten the body, and it is also realized from this thing.

Zhang Yin'an said: Zhongzu Bawei Wan used dogwood, later generations went to Fu, Gui changed it to Liuwei Wan, and used dogwood as a medicine for strengthening essence and nourishing kidney water. and also.Looking at the "Ben Jing" in detail, the function of dogwood is like this, and scholars can understand it in the "Ben Jing" and use it widely, without the disadvantages of narrowness.

Evodia

The smell is pungent, warm, slightly poisonous.Mainly warming the middle, lowering the Qi, relieving pain, and removing dampness and blood numbness, expelling wind pathogens, opening the meridians, coughing, cold and heat. (Soak once) Chen Xiuyuan said: Wuyu's temperature, spring energy enters the liver.The taste is pungent and slightly poisonous, and the taste of gold enters the lungs.The temperature can dispel the cold, and the taste of the big pungent can let the lung order go alone without any restraint; therefore, the moderate cold can be warmed, the qi can be reversed, and all chest and abdominal pain can be stopped; all the lung orders go down, and there is no rest thing.Zhongjing takes the treatment of Yangming's nausea after eating grains, and dry vomiting and saliva, and he will understand the meaning beyond the words from the "Ben Jing".The lung likes temperature and hates cold, once it gets the great temperature and great pungent effects of Wuyu, the water passages will be adjusted and the dampness will be removed.The liver stores blood, and when the blood is cold, it stagnates and causes numbness. Once the great pungent and warming effect of Wuyu is obtained, the blood is activated and the numbness is eliminated.When wind-evil hurts people, the interstitial muscles will be closed, and all the symptoms of cold, heat and cough will be caused. If Wuyu Daxin is warmed, if it is opened and chased away, all the symptoms of cough, cold and heat will be relieved.However, for those who still have doubts, Zhongjing's medications are all in accordance with the "Ben Jing", and the twenty words "shaoyin disease vomiting, cold hands and feet, irritability and death, Evodia decoction should be used" do not match the "Ben Jing".They don't know that the viscera of Shaoyin are all derived from Yangming water and valleys, and they are reattached to Zhongtu.If the qi of yin and yang does not return to the middle earth, it will be unfavorable to vomit upwards; if the qi of water and fire does not return to the middle earth, it will be dry at the lower level and irritated at the upper level;Zhongjing takes the power of Evodia rutaecarpa, Daxin and Dawen, and ginseng to harmonize, to calm the Qi, and ginger and jujube to harmonize the stomach, to treat the four ends; seeking Yangming exclusively, is the magic of reviving the dead.Both Zhang Yin'an and Ye Tianshi's explanations are shallow.

almond
The smell is sweet, bitter, warm, cold and sharp, and slightly poisonous.Mainly cough against upper qi, thunder and throat numbness, lower qi to produce milk, gold sores, cold heart and running dolphins. (Soak the skin in the soup. Do not use the almonds if they are too poisonous.) Chen Xiuyuan said: Almonds smell sweet and bitter, but in fact they are more bitter than sweet.

The word "lower breath" is also enough to do its best.If the lungs are solid and swollen, it is a cough and upper qi.For those with thundering throat numbness, the fire knot in the throat is numb pain, and the sound of phlegm is like thunder; almonds lower the breath, so it dominates.When there is excess Qi, there is fire, and when Qi is low, there is fire. Therefore, breast milk can pass through, and sores can be healed.If the heart yang is deficient, the evil of cold water will run from bottom to top and attack the heart; almonds have the power of lowering qi, cutting cold water from the bottom, that is, to protect the heart yang from the top.All of these are diseases that are more than curable. If you suffer from fatigue and cough, you will die if you take it.The doctor of the time said that the one produced in the bata has a pure and sweet taste, but they don't know that the pure sweetness is not the proper taste of almonds.Since there is no merit of suffering, only the dampness is left to produce phlegm, the sweetness is to block qi, and the yin suffers from it, and you will not realize it until you die, what a pity!
Ume
The smell is sour, warm, flat, astringent, non-toxic.Mainly lowering qi, removing heat, restlessness, peace of mind, relieving pain in limbs, partial withering, dead muscles, removing black moles, and eating away flesh.

Chen Xiuyuan said: The qi of ebony plum is flat, and it enters the lungs with metal qi; the air temperature, with wood qi, enters the liver; the taste is sour and non-toxic, and it has a woody taste and enters the liver; the astringent taste is the change of sour taste.Taste is better than gas, and taste is the main thing.Plum blossoms have an oriental taste, flowers bloom in winter and mature in summer.Those who are in charge of lowering the qi, when the qi rises upwards, the negative qi will naturally descend.Fullness of heat and restlessness, Jueyin syndrome in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", generalized by words such as qi rushing up to the heart, distressed and hot, can lower the qi, and all diseases will be cured.The spleen governs the limbs, wood qi restrains the soil, and the limbs are painful; the liver governs the storage of blood, and if the blood is not irrigated, it will be dry and inhumane and become dead muscles; ebony can harmonize the liver qi and nourish the liver blood, so it governs it.For those who remove black moles and bad flesh, the smell of sour harvest, external treatment can also eliminate moles and flesh.

Zhang Yin'an said: Later generations don't understand the classics and meaning, and they are not poor in physics, but they use ebony as a medicine to restrain sourness and astringency, and the nature of spring growth and development has not been explained.What a pity!
犀角

The smell is bitter, sour, salty, cold, non-toxic.Master all kinds of poisons, phlegm, miasma of evil ghosts, remove hook kisses, poisonous feathers, and snake venoms, eliminate evil, and do not confuse nightmares.Take light weight for a long time.

Chen Xiuyuan said: Rhinoceros horn is cold in air, and has the air of water; it tastes bitter, sour, salty and non-toxic, and has the taste of wood, fire, and water.Those who master all kinds of poisons, gu, and miasma of evil ghosts use the rhinoceros as a supernatural beast, and use its spiritual energy to ward off evil spirits.Those who unravel hook kisses, poisonous feathers, and snake venom take the ox as the soil and the rhinoceros as the water, get the essence of water and soil, and throw the poison into the water and soil to dissolve it.Don't confuse those who are sleepy and light-headed, saying that water and fire are both beneficial.Today's people take it to treat blood diseases, which is inconsistent with the scriptures.

Antelope horn

The smell is salty, cold, non-toxic.Mainly improves eyesight, replenishes qi, removes yin, removes bad blood, injects.Repelling Gu poison, evil spirits are ominous, often insomnia. (commonly known as antelope) [Reference] Antelope horn is cold, tastes salty and non-toxic, enters the two meridians of kidney and bladder.For eyesight, the salty cold is used to replenish water, and if the water is sufficient, eyesight will be clear.

Those who benefit qi, water can transform qi.For those who develop yin, the yin organ is the ancestral tendon and belongs to the liver, and the liver is the wood. The wood will wither when exposed to the scorching sun, and it will stand up when exposed to rain and dew.Salty taste breaks the blood, so the main thing is to remove the bad blood.If the Qi is cold, it will clear away the heat, so stop the injection.Gu poison is also the poison of damp heat, which can be eliminated by salty cold.Those who ward off evil spirits and are ominous, and who often have nightmares and dreams, praise their supernatural powers.
